Biggest loss in Irish corporate history wasn't the record they meant me thinks. Odd to see that Naomi Klein article there isn't it?

QR isn't registered with the CRO or with the pollsters umbrella group so the provenance isn't questionable it's a full blown mystery.

Thomas Crosbie Holdings is considering restructuring its debt.
http://www.rte.ie/news/2012/0713/tho...structure.html
Phoenix had a good piece on the dire state of their finances a while backThe company owes banks €28m and the group's biggest creditor is AIB.
The AIB has hired KPMG to review the business, while Thomas Crosbie Holdings has engaged Grant Thornton.
It is understood securing the agreement with AIB, which is State owned, would be critical to any restructuring deal.
Thomas Crosbie Holding's CEO Tom Murphy did not return calls seeking comment.
Latest accounts for the company; for the year ending 2 January 2011, show it had total sales of €70.8m, down from €82.5m a year earlier.

Sounds remarkably like the Irish State so yeah probably.
Whatever you think of them, it would be bad to see either the SBP, Examiner in this case, or any of papers go.

The ever predictable Stephen Collins uses the Chris Andrews story to beat de internet over the head with a very blunt instrument
http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/...322383655.htmlHow Andrews allowed himself to be persuaded into setting up a bogus Twitter account to further his political ambitions beggars belief, but the episode should again highlight the sheer lack of credibility that attaches to so much of what passes for political comment on Twitter and the internet itself.
The mainstream media has given an entirely undeserved credibility to such outpourings by paying so much attention to what is essentially online graffiti, whether anonymous or not.
It may well be, Simon and Garfunkel sang, that the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls but they are not quoted regularly in media and allowed the huge significance that is attached to online comment.

Journalists had a monopoly on what we heard about and how we heard about it for generations but now there are other voices. And some irksome oiks even have the temerity to challenge their betters in the NUJ and point out errors, spin and, eh, claims that are inconsistent with reality.
Add in IT sensitivities around a medium where they've invariably made bad decisions and poor little Steve's upset is understandable.

Rabbitte said he had proposed speeding up the process by extracting the sections dealing with media mergers from the larger Bill, but this had not happened for "administrative reasons."
http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/...Q7apXw.twitter“There is no conspiracy about this. It is merely the business of trying to bring complex legislation through the system in the quickest way possible,” he said.
Mr Rabbitte said the Government’s legislative schedule had been dislocated to an extent by the requirement to fulfil the obligations imposed by the EU-IMF troika programme. However, he insisted the competition legislation would involve the transfer of responsibility for the media to his department.
Mr Rabbitte said the legislation would make it clear that the public interest would have a higher priority with respect to mergers in the media than in other areas of business.
“Diversity of content and diversity of ownership is more important in the media than in other enterprises because it has an impact on the quality of our democracy. I am confident that the Bill will have regard to these principles,” said Mr Rabbitte.
He said aspects of the legislation relating to the media would rely heavily on the principles contained in the report of the advisory group on media mergers, which was presented to the former government in 2009.
The chairman of this group was senior counsel Paul Sreenan and its recommendations have become known as the “Sreenan principles”. One of those principles is that there should be a statutory definition of media plurality, which would deal with the issues of ownership and content. A statutory test to be applied by the Minister in relation to media mergers will be included in the Bill.
Another of the Sreenan principles was that there should be an ongoing collection and publication of information on media plurality as well as a system of notification of media mergers to the Minister for clearance

No wonder Stephen Collins was stamping his little foot at the internet the other day. Sales dropping quicker than Prince Harry's Y-fronts can't be good for morale.
